Do you want to do a doctorate and change the world with your research?
Are you looking for an inspiring environment in which you not only work, but also play an active role in shaping it?
Are you enthusiastic about mechanics and love solving complex problems?

» Then you've come to the right place!

We are looking for two highly motivated graduates who would like to become part of a research network. Together we want to develop innovative solutions to replace critical primary materials such as cobalt and tungsten in carbide tools. Our goal is to make these tools more environmentally friendly and socially acceptable by focussing on recycled and alternative materials.

About us:

At the Chair of Engineering Mechanics and Computational Physics in Engineering, we are working on ground-breaking modelling of the additive manufacturing process and the milling process using the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). These simulations are crucial for developing new manufacturing methods and improving the performance of tools.

What we offer:

• Collaboration at eye level in a young and dynamic team
• Flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely
• Exciting research topics in the field of simulation for the recycling of carbide and new materials for high-performance tools
• Interdisciplinary collaboration with research groups and industry partners
• Special training programmes for your personal and professional development

What you bring with you:

• Reliability, commitment and the ability to work independently
• Team-orientation and willingness to collaborate with other specialist areas
• Degree (Diploma or Master's) in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, mathematics, physics or a related subject with an above-average degree
• Profound knowledge of mechanics and the finite element method, knowledge of continuum mechanics is desirable
• Programming skills (e.g. Python, C++, Matlab, Julia)
• Interest in scientific work and good German and English skills

Apply now and become part of a team that is shaping the future of tool manufacturing and focussing on sustainability and innovation.
We look forward to receiving your application!
